  • Abstract
    Stable, single frequency lasers in the eye-safe band are essential for coherent remote sensing. We describe an Er: YAG laser that is resonantly pumped using diode lasers, and produces a polarized, single frequency, diffraction limited beam at 1645 nm with a frequency stability suitable for single-shot velocity measurements with a precision ≪ 0.1ms-1.
